Definitions
- the output impedance of the power switch driver may thus not be determined by an output component, e.g., fixed resistors such as Ron or Roff as shown in the arrangement of FIG. 1 , but may be at least partially determined by component(s) such as resistor(s) on an input stage of the driver. Indeed, such fixed output resistors may not be necessary.
- power dissipation may thus be reduced and/or thermal constraints relating for example to board layout and/or number or choice of components, may thus be mitigated.
- threshold current may for example effectively allow high emulated resistor at low load.
- the turn-on detector may be in the output line to the load and/or coupled to a main conduction terminal, e.g., collector or emitter, of the power switch.
- the turn-on detector may be a component of the driver, e.g., provided in driver module.
- the indication of the at least start of a turn-on period may be provided for example by the turn-on detector outputting an active signal (e.g., digital “1”) while the rate of change of current remains above a threshold level.
- the increasing current through the power switch(es) may be detected by detecting when the current has a rate of change above a threshold rate of change value.
- the power converter configured to perform said reversal when the clamp comparator indicates that the power switch variable indicator goes beyond or exceeds the clamp value during an OFF period of the power switch.
- Such an OFF period may comprise a turn-off period and/or a fully off period of the power switch. (Any reference to exceeding a clamp value may refer to magnitude of the power switch variable indicator exceeding magnitude of the clamp value).
- the power switch driver is an adaptive drive.
- the power switch driver may be as defined above for the first aspect, wherein the circuit variable comprises the controllable output resistance and the power switch driver is configured to adjust resistance of the at least one resistor to perform at least one of said increase and decrease of the circuit variable.
- a power switch driver for driving a control terminal of a power switch to drive a load
- the power switch driver comprising: a controllable voltage source to provide a control terminal reference voltage; a voltage control circuit for controlling voltage on the control terminal of the power switch according to the control terminal reference voltage, the voltage control circuit configured to provide an output signal to vary the voltage on the control terminal; and a feedback circuit to generate a signal indicating a rate of change of at least one of a current or voltage of the power switch and to, in response to said signal indicating a reduction of impedance of an output circuit of the power switch driver, control the controllable voltage source to reduce the control terminal reference voltage, said reduction to reduce the controlled voltage.
- FIG. 7 shows example resistor selection
- FIG. 20 shows an embodiment of a gate boost method.
- Optional coupling switch SW 1 may allow the resistor emulation function to be turned off (base of ⁇ 1 open-circuit), operated as a constant current sink (base of ⁇ 1 connected to ground) or enabled.
- a current drive may be preferable to a voltage source and resistance (resistive drive) under certain conditions described later.
- power dissipation may be constrained to the output stage making it easier to manage for a wide range of emulated resistors.
- improved thermal performance may be achieved.
- the current in the load (for example a motor) may be measured and fed back to a control unit.
- the DC link voltage may also be monitored and preferably regulated to ensure it does not rise above the maximum blocking voltage of the power switches.
- One method to measure the load current without the need for additional circuits is to measure the time in certain phases.
- the time spent in phase 2, or 2 and 3 may give an indication of the magnitude of the load current.
- the time spent in phase 8 may similarly indicate the magnitude of the load current. This is particularly true if the di/dt is constant or changing little with load.
- a system clock of 100 MHz can measure, using a counter, the time the IGBT spends in each phase to an accuracy of 10 ns.
- An example time in phase 2 or 8 might be 0 to 500 ns, which corresponds to a count value of 0 to 50. In this case it may be appropriate to select one of 5 different resistors for counts of 0 to 10, 11 to 20, 21 to 30, 31 to 40, and 41+ for example.
- the voltage across R 1 is measured and compared by the clamp comparator to a reference voltage (Vclamp).
- Vclamp a reference voltage
- the R 1 voltage is used as an indicator of a power switch variable in the form of the emitter-collector voltage of the power switch U 2 . If the voltage across R 1 exceeds a clamp value Vclamp, the output of the comparator is a logic high (1) and if less than Vclamp the output is a logic low (0).
- the series impedances have a ratio such as 500:1 for, e.g., R 1 C 1 :R 2 C2, over the required bandwidth from DC to a high frequency beyond which the ratio may roll increase of decrease or may roll off/up.
- a feedback control scheme based on monitoring the DC link is proposed. This could be implemented in a central controller or the gate drive.
- control terminal e.g., gate
- two power supply rails e.g. +15 V and +18 V
- this may require additional power supply smoothing capacitors and/or a more complex DC-DC converter.
- capacitance in the converter and/or driver may significantly slow down switching between rails.
- Example advantages that may be achievable by any one or more such embodiment are, inter alia, any one or more of the following:
- E17 Power converter comprising the power switch driver of E16.
- a power switch driver for driving a control terminal of a power switch to drive a load having a negative feedback circuit to control current delivered to the control terminal, the negative feedback circuit comprising:
